I want a car that is a cult car and a fast car!

If you want something that is a sports car and a cult car then you should have a look at the Lamborghini Countach. This has been described as Forbes Magazine as “the poster child for cult cars”

As well as having a proper cult car charisma it is known for its high performance features and exotic design. In fact it is actually named after a native Piedmontese language when the world ‘countach’ is used by men to describe beautiful women.

It was designed by Marcello Gandini and was launched originally at a car show back in 1971. However the final was not released until some time later. They made several modifications to the 1971 version including fixing the inadequate air intakes valves on the original.

This is a reasonable rare care though because although it was in production for 15years from 1974 there was only just over 2000 made.

This is probably why it is so popular amongst sports car enthusiasts because it is both a cult car and one that integrates a sports car design. It is a lovely looking car and lots of sports car collectors are desperate to own one – Which is what really adds to their value.
